Arts Inclusion Incubator

First Stitch Play Reading Series continues with The Wolves by Sarah DeLappe ⚽ Presented by Wild Thread Theatre and Arts Inclusion Incubator.

A Pulitzer Prize finalist, The Wolves follows a high school girls’ indoor soccer team as they warm up before each week’s game. Through quick-fire conversations about everything from world events to school, relationships, and the future, nine young women reveal who they are, who they’re becoming, and what it means to grow up together. Funny, honest, and deeply moving, this acclaimed play captures the beautiful chaos of adolescence.

Join us for this staged reading on Sunday, July 26 at 6:30 PM in Wild Oscar’s at Lock 4.

🎟️ Tickets are $10
